Hi, I'd like to change the default character encoding from nautilus for creating files or directories. If I create a directory with (for example) a German Umlaut (e.g. testdatö) in nautilus, outside nautilus (here in aterm) it looks like this:
tobias:/$ ls -la testd* total 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 tobias users 4096 2006-10-13 22:26 testdatö It's quite unreadable but nautilus shows everything perfect (e.g. with the Umlaut ö). My shell uses the [EMAIL PROTECTED] locale (iso8859-15): tobias:/$ locale [EMAIL PROTECTED] LC_CTYPE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_NUMERIC="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_TIME="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_COLLATE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_MONETARY="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_MESSAGES=C [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] LC_ALL= If I create such a directory (with ö) in my shell, nautilus displays everything fine, too. It's just while creating, nautilus uses a different character encoding (I guess it's UTF-8?), while reading nautilus seems to use iso8859-15, too (besides the UTF-8). I already tried to set G_FILENAME_ENCODING environment variable to @locale or [EMAIL PROTECTED] in my /etc/profile but although the variable definitely is being set ("env" displays the variable being set) nautilus seems to ignore it. Does anybody have any idea how to change this behaviour? -- Más vale poner la cabeza en funcionamiento, antes que la lengua en movimiento. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
